I have a problem with a multiplicity of such licenses, and the fact that
it's far from clear who-all needs to accept them.  We aren't living in a
single-user-PC world, at least not all of us.

Larry thinks he can create a single acknowledgement that will satisfy every
company lawyer in the U.S., if not the world.  As Mark Twain said,
I will admire to see him try.
